GRAPHICAL INDEX

MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are available. This state can be
entered by pressing the ignition device
button once, without pressing the brake
pedal (versions with automatic
transmission) or the clutch pedal
(versions with manual gearbox);
AVV: engine starting.
Starting the engine (with electronic key
battery flat): in this case, rest the rounded
edge of the electronic key (the side
opposite the metal insert) on the ignition
device and press the button using the
electronic key.
Stopping the engine (with electronic key
battery flat): to switch off the engine in
this situation, hold down the ignition
device button for a while or press it
3 times in a row within a few seconds.
NOTE The ignition device does NOT
activate if the electronic key is inside the
boot and this is open.
NOTE With the ignition device at MAR, if
30 minutes pass with the vehicle
stationary (versions with manual gearbox)
or with the gear lever at P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission)
and the engine off, the ignition device
will automatically move to the STOP
position.
NOTE If the device does switch off the
car, refer to the “Display” paragraph in
the “Knowing the instrument panel”chapter, where available, and contact the
Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
For more information on the engine
start-up, see the description in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph, in the
"Starting and driving" chapter.STEERING LOCK
Activation
Versions with mechanical key: with the
device in the STOP position, remove the
key and turn the wheel until it locks.
WARNING Locking the steering wheel
can only be done after removing the
starter key if the key has been turned in
the starter from the position MAR to
STOP.
Versions with electronic key: the steering
lock is inserted into the driver's door with
the starter device button in the STOP
position and the speed is less than
3km/h.
Deactivation
Versions with mechanical key: move the
wheel lightly, turn the key to MAR
position.
Versions with electronic key: the steering
lock is removed when the starter button
is pressed and the electronic key is
recognised.
WARNING On automatic transmissionversions, to remove the key smoothly, we
advise you to position the gear shift to P,
release the brake in safe conditions and
then turn off the engine.
4) 5)
WARNING
2)If the ignition device has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted theft),
have it checked over by a Jeep Dealership
before driving again.
3)Always take the key with you when you
leave your vehicle to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the electric parking
brake. Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle.
4)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of
anti-theft device) that could adversely
affect performance, invalidate the
warranty, cause serious safety problems
and also result in the car not meeting
type-approval requirements.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

5)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This holds true for cars being
towed as well.
6)Before leaving the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the handbrake. On versions
equipped with automatic transmission,
move the gear lever to STOP (Park) and
press the ignition device to set it to STOP.
When leaving the vehicle, always lock all
the doors by pressing the button on the
handle.
7)For versions equipped with the Keyless
Enter-N-Go system, do not leave the
electronic key inside or near the car or in
a place accessible to children. Do not
leave the vehicle with the ignition device
in MAR position. A child could activate
the electric window winders, other
controls or even start the vehicle.SENTRY KEY®
TheSentry Key®system, prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that the
vehicle's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition device is taken to
MAR, theSentry Key®system identifies
the code transmitted by the key. If the
code is recognised as valid, theSentry
Key®system enables engine starting.
When the ignition device is brought back
to STOP, theSentry Key®system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, thus preventing its starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph, "Starting
and driving" chapter.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the
icon is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bringthe ignition device to STOP and then to
MAR; if it is still blocked, try with the
other keys provided. If it is still not
possible to start the engine, contact a
Jeep Dealership.
If the
icon is displayed while driving,
this means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a voltage
drop). If the displaying is still on, contact
a Jeep Dealership.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

The four bars on the digital indicator
near the letters LPG on the instrument
panel display indicate the level of LPG in
the tank. Switching is confirmed by the
switching on/off of the
symbol on the
display.
REFUELLING
LPG
21) 22) 23)
Maximum refuelling capacity (including
reserve): 38 litres. The figure already
takes into account the 80% tank filling
limit and the residual fluid required for
priming and the maximum permitted
capacity.In addition, after different
refuelling processes, this figure may varydue to differences between the network
pump supply pressures, pumps having
different supply/locking features, tank not
completely run out of fuel.
IMPORTANT In order to avoid
inconsistent information by the LPG
gauge on the instrument panel, it is
recommended to refill with at least
10 litres each time.
WARNING
29)Note that in some countries (including
Italy) there are legal restrictions in force
for parking/garaging motor cars fuelled by
gas that is denser than air; LPG comes
under this category.
30)If gas is smelt, switch from LPG
operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to a Jeep Dealership to
have the car checked and possible system
faults excluded.
31)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the
engine.
32)Modifications or repairs to the supply
system that are not carried out correctly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
IMPORTANT
14)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between -20°C and 100°C.
15)The car is equipped with a gaseous
LPG injection system designed specifically
for it: it is therefore absolutely forbidden
to alter the configuration of the system or
its components. The use of other
components or materials could cause
malfunctions and lead to a reduction in
safety; therefore, in the case of problems,
contact a Jeep Dealership. When towing or
lifting the car, follow the instructions in
the main handbook under the paragraph
on "Towing the car" to prevent damage to
the gas system parts.
16)When painting in an oven, the LPG
tank must be removed from the car and
later refitted by a Jeep Dealership.
17)Periodically (at least once every six
months) it is advisable to let the LPG in
the tank run out and, at the first
refuelling, to check that it does not exceed
the maximum capacity of 38 litres (reserve
included) (with a tolerance of 2 litres
excess). If the level is above 38 litres
(reserve included) contact a Jeep
Dealership immediately.
